[QUOTE="Rel, post: 1466055, member: 99"] I'm having a hard time selecting from the poll above because it varies a lot depending on the player and character. Without question, most of the players in our group have their eyes light up more for the permanent stuff than the expendable/charged items. But right now, only one is playing an arcane spellcaster and he is a total scroll whore. He is CONSTANTLY begging money from the other PC's so he can teleport to a major city where his guild is located and buying scrolls to use (albeit for the benefit of the entire party). For myself, I have a notable penchant for Wonderous Items. I don't know exactly what it is but I'd rather find Gloves of Arrow Snaring, A Silver Raven or a Circlet of Persuasion than a +2 suit of armor any day of the week. Wonderous Items are just cool. That said, my last character, a Halfling Rogue, was a total junkie for scrolls and potions. He had maxed out Use Magic Device and his Haversack became known in the party as "the Bag of Tricks". Before every adventure he would stock it full of low-cost items like Qualls Feather Tokens, Tanglefoot Bags, Alchemists Fire, Thunderstones, several potions of healing, at least a couple potions of Invisibility and a wide array of low level scrolls. The stuff he pulled out of this bag saved the party's bacon more times than I care to recall. My next character will be different. I'm getting ready to start playing an AU game and my Verrik Mind Witch is going to be travelling very light. I don't see him as the pack-rat type and so he'll probably gravitate more toward the permanent items. But this will doubtlessly be dictated heavily by what sort of treasure we actually find. [/QUOTE]
